It has happened at last, I have retired, and with that, I have lost any legal access to Matlab, so I am off to download Octave, as the nearest alternative to Matlab that my pension can afford.

I want to say goodbye to everyone.

1) The Newbies for asking thought provoking questions, or at least keeping me amused.

2) The Guru's for providing insightful responses, thanks, I have learned a great deal from your answers.

3) To the Matlab team for making such a remarkable package, that has kept me employed and engrossed for the last 10 years or more - its such a pity that just when I get time to really explore its potential, with no employment constraints, I have to switch to some 'competitive' package, still that life I guess.

Maybe I will 'see' you around - by the way, does anyone know where I might get some Nike trainers?

Regards

Dear Dave,

*thanks* for supporting this newsgroup!
Bye.

What about FreeMat? Anyhow, I've heared, there is a live beyond Matlab.

Sorry to see you go. Hope you continue to enjoy yourself.

BTW, maybe you'll be interested in taking a class somewhere...then will
have a student ID...then will qualify to buy Student Edition of MATLAB,
which is really inexpensive...

We've all (gurus, non-gurus, aspiring gurus, etc.) learned a lot from your posts Dave. You've helped a lot of people on the site. You'll be missed. I hope that there is a way for you to remain involved in the community.
